Hello...Hello, Good Mornin'...

i don't think it's any secret that i love my job as a design team member for Jenni Bowlin Studios and her Merchantile Kit Club...which is why i am so excited that there are some exciting new things happening over in Jenni Bowlin's magic vintage world...some of which we are waiting just as anxiously to hear as everyone else. i'm kind of obsessively stalking jenni's blog until she reveals all the news she has been hinting at...but in the meantime i wanted to share this little announcement that they sent out to us:

and the best part? in honor of this new Dime Store kit, we are each giving one away on our blog!

here's some photos:

and here's the deal:

share with me your favorite kind of dime store candy in the comments in order to be placed in the random drawing for the prize! mine were always the bubble gum cigerettes that we got at a store in our town called Ben Franklin's. we thought we were super cool smoking delicious bubblegum flavored smokes. :)

I have to pick just one?? I loved the Swedish fish that they'd count out and place in a teeny, tiny paper bag. And those flying saucers filled with candy beads. And those odd two-toned lollies, which were yummy, but chalky and always made my tongue hurt afterwards!

Huge fan of Jenni's!!! I am always on the prowl for gred red, white, and blue products!!!
My favorite dime store candy would be the little candy sticks, I still have to get them whenever we go to Cracker Barrel!
Thanks for the chance to win!

At my local candy store growing up, the cigerettes were not often available, but when they were, I remember every kid in town running down there to get some. They flew right off the shelf in record time. Yes they were the most fun!

I remember loving the freshly cooked Spanish peanuts that they cooked right there and would still be hot. Not exactly candy but were located with the candy. I also loved the Boston Baked beans when they were fresh and malted milk balls. Actually, I loved all the candy~!!!!!

haha!! i did the exact same thing when i was a kid! My favourite is toffee crumble, i'm not sure if you have that in the US though. We don't have many traditional sweet shops in the UK now though so it's not very often i get to eat it, which is just as well really! Love this kit, it's so yummy!

this is how we do it...
